Westwood said last year that playing Augusta is, "five hours of brain battering." He also once said that, "only six or seven players have a chance of winning." Yet following that statement in 2007 he outscored the field on the Friday and Saturday. It is typical of the Englishman that he should be downbeat one day and world-beating the next. His long game seems suited to Augusta - he is long off the tee and accurate and aggressive with his irons. He also appreciates the need to, "know which areas of the green to hit." His weakness is a one-dimensional short game, but working with Mark Roe has improved his skill levels and last year helped him push Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate close in the US Open. So far in 2009 he has achieved nothing better than seventh place in the Johnnie Walker Classic but he showed glimpses of form in Houston last week and may be encouraged as he heads down Magnolia Drive.
